Feeling the compounding fiscal shortfalls of in-house testing?

Destiny Jolade • Jan 02, 2018


Industry demands for complex and definitive testing protocols have increased over recent years. This new paradigm has put a strain on in- house testing laboratories by requiring them to conform to ever-changing, exacting, pharmacological standards established by industry oversight organizations. For many companies, their bottom line is negatively affected by the transient regulatory standards, and this often results in a fiscal drain for the company.

Compounding the fiscal shortfalls that in-house testing procedures may create, is the fact that many in-house laboratory protocol statements may suffer from reporting bias. Frequently, when testing protocols are conducted utilizing a company’s internal methods, there may be a misguided belief that their specific reporting schema will result in more favorable results. In other words, the laboratory, company or the employee themselves can produce better results because they know the product. However, this practice can lead to a tendency to under-report findings obtained using the company’s unique laboratory testing procedures, and consequently, skew the final testing results.

Many leading companies have shifted towards this new model of outsourcing testing protocols because verified testing laboratories can serve as a safeguard that ensures the continued growth of their company. Using verified testing laboratories also provides assurance that a company’s products are being examined through unbiased lens that are regulated by industry oversight organizations. In addition, if any discrepancies are detected in the samples, outsourced laboratories are typically in a better position to isolate and rectify any potential problems with a company’s product. The client would also be spared the burdensome process of conducting a complete audit of their entire laboratory protocol.

Considering the increasing level of industry guidelines, well-informed companies are contracting with certified testing laboratories to have testing results concurrently and accurately verified. Though not required, outsourcing helps provide a layer of protection for the company. More importantly, it also allows prospective companies to devote valuable fiscal and human capital to projects, which will result in the greatest return and increase the bottom line.
